    ramen
    Angie P.

    I wanted so bad to love this spot! We live in FWB and have been wanting to try it forever and finally made the time. Unfortunately it did not live up to our hopes. Parking isn't too bad and the ambiance/decor is super cute! That's unfortunately where the positives stop. Shortly after ordering the AYCE sushi for my hubby and I, 2 of the 4 rolls we ordered had long hairs in them...gross. The bits of sushi we had (without hair) were good but after that I was too grossed out to keep trying it. The server was so embarrassed (obviously not his fault) and tried to make it right by bringing ramen which is "the best around, they do so good". It was some of the most bland ramen I have ever had. The manager took off the AYCE sushi and kept the ramen on and we ended up paying how much we would've paid for both AYCE meals...? Lastly, upon looking at the receipt there is mandatory 20% gratuity included on all checks. I'm all for tipping well but if there are serious errors like our visit I should not be beholden to that. First and last visit for us. So sad,

    Jackacada's was a fun experience. Based on the name I assumed it was more tourist or chain, but it was finer dining and individualistic. The restaurant is very big with a large patio area. They even had someone playing live music inside in a "hallway". The wait person was clearly new and nervous but really, really trying. It was slightly confusing because there wasn't a happy hour menu at the table. We figured it out and loved the food, drinks, and deals. The BOGO entree we meant to have to go at the end of the menu since we had an odd number of people. But they just packaged it up. They don't have a ton of beers but have a full bar and several wines. The fish was all very fresh. The shrimp and grits was a little heavy for me but well within the normal range. The nachos and ahi tuna apps were also awesome. The wait staff person even gave us a coupon for next time.

    Famous Fish Tacos. Catch of the day was Mahi Mahi. I had mine fried. These were DELICIOUS.

    WOW! I am super impressed with this place. I had the mahi mahi tacos, fried, and my boyfriend had the fried shrimp platter. I wish my dish had more fries, because those fries were DELICIOUS. There were not many on the plate, but I enjoyed what I had. The martini I had was a unique lemondrop. Very tasty, a little on the bitterside more than I expected, but still hit the spot. We also had the shrimp rangoons, and I swear I could eat those constantly. They were SO GOOD!!!!! Kyla was our waitress and she was super sweet! She recommened us some of the best dishes, and was very helpful with everything. She was super friendly and made sure we were taken well care of. The restaurant was dim inside, and wasn't crowded at the time, so we really were excited for such an intimate experience. The restaurant was also very clean-- it was a little chilly inside, but the martini definitely did it's job and warmed me up! The manager was also friendly, and pretty funny! I failed to get his name, but he definitely made us laugh. The bathrooms were clean and I was happy to see that. They seem to really maintain the location well. I look forward to returning. They serve Pepsi here (boo) but otherwise, I loved it!

    1 lb crab legs, 1 lb of shrimp, potatoes, and corn boil. I cannot even begin to describe the flavor of the shrimp and crab legs!

    Spicy Tuna Roll
    Nikki H.

    Yesss! Live music on Wednesday & Friday, great food, and drinks, there is no question this should be one of your stops while in Destin or San Destin! For the food: They do have all you can eat crab legs, but the price tag of $69.99 just didn't work for us. All in all we had the Hot Crab dip. It was good eventhough the crab was a bit of an illusion. The Steak Terriyaki was meeh as it had asparagus with steak...Asparagus in sushi just didn't go. The Spicy Tuna was good. Smaller but good. The OVO with smoked salmon was really good. Next time we go we'll try the Dynamite Shrimp and one of the other entrees. Drinks: we had modified Long Islands two with pineapples one with cranberry with the Coke and sweet and sour removed. They were made perfectly. We'll be back! Server: everyone was kind from the hostess, server, manager to the bartender. Everyone made our experience great. They do have Happy Hour, but I don't recall the times.

    We came here to grab sushi as we heard Jackacuda's was pretty good when a friend visited a couple years prior. The staff were very polite and the restaurant is pretty large. I enjoyed the back room as it's sectioned off and perfect for big groups. It felt very intimate. The obvious con is the Food. Not really appetizing. The sushi wasn't fresh at all and some of the other items tasted more like rice balls then sushi. I ordered the Super Spicy and Dark Knight. The Super Spicy was absolutely disgusting and had waaaaay too much cucumber. That roll needs to be Re-Done! I like the concept but too much cucumber and the Tuna wasn't fresh! The Dark Knight wasn't horrible but didn't meet my expectations. We all pretty much agreed the food was not that good and ended up doing Uber Eats as we were pretty exhausted from the beach. Two of my friends wanted a refund and were granted their request but of course the staff had to make a snarky remark. For feedback I'd say step the menu up if your selling Sushi and in Destin! We expected better! The food is simply not that fresh and appetizing.

First The Menu Bait-and-Switch Their website menu and a customer-posted menu are identical both promise pita bread and tzatziki with entrees. We ordered based on that. When we called after getting home asking where these items were, they claimed it was "an old menu posted by a customer." Except their website/menu online says the same thing. Either fix your menus or stop lying to customers. The Portions were pathetic when told they were good sized and oh man the food was Flavorless! For $79 + tip, we got portions embarrassingly small. The grape leaves? Cold, wet, and bland could barely eat three. The rice was lifeless. The $37 "Fish of the Day" tilapia had ZERO flavor and no lemon even basic Mediterranean cooking demands lemon. The $30 salmon kabob was mediocre-sized and barely filling. Everything tasted like it was prepared with zero seasoning and zero effort and no soul. We had to season our own food at home. Our server was too busy with personal conversations to help properly. When handing us our to-go food, she literally said, "I didn't put gratuity on there but you guys can if you want" like she was doing us a favor by separating the hot items from the cold. We tipped anyway because we're good Samaritans when it comes to eating out. When we complained by phone, the response was hollow: "I'll let the Owner know to fix it" the only positive thing: Location is easy to find. That's literally it. The building is rundown, interior cramped with tables crammed together, decor is mediocre at best. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Better Mediterranean restaurants exist all over Destin. This is a cautionary tale of poor execution, dishonest practices, and staff that clearly doesn't care. 1/5 Stars - Never returning.

Man, these are some of the best garlic rolls I've ever had. They were hot, buttery and so light all at the same time. We then ordered the Gorgonzola pizza. It came with grilled chicken and onions with no sauce. We added pesto sauce and wow. The pizza was so delicious and had so much flavor. Krisztian then brought us out the best cheesecake I've ever had period! Everything about this dessert was screaming fresh and homemade. The crust was so buttery and the cheesecake had the right amount of sweetness. Also, they have happy hour 7 days a week!!!!! Their happy hour menu is outrageous and has something for everyone. If you haven't been here, you need to get here for the best pizza and Italian food around. I suggest you make a reservation so you don't miss out. We will be back soon!!!!
